Astros' Yuli Gurriel Suspended For Racist Gesture — But Not Until After The World Series : The Two-WayThe Astros' first baseman Yu Gurriel will sit out five games next season without pay, and undergo sensitivity training. But the MLB stopped short of excluding him from the rest of the World Series.

"There is no place in our game for the behavior — or any behavior like the behavior we witnessed last night," Manfred said in a press conference. "There is no excuse or explanation that makes that type of behavior acceptable."

And yet, the suspension beginning next season means Gurriel is back in the Astros' lineup tonight.

"No one is perfect," Darvish wrote. "That includes both you and I. What he had done today isn't right, but I believe we should put our effort into learning rather than to accuse him. If we can take something for this, this is a giant step for mankind. Since we are living in such a wonderful world, let's stay positive and move forward instead of focusing on anger. I'm counting on everyone's big love."

"The World Series without question has provided the relief this city has needed," Straw says. "That there's this diversion, and it's honestly such a thrilling diversion that a team is in the World Series — is something that's really nice." After last night, however, Straw says some Houston fans are feeling conflicted.
